Chico, did you know that you can collect your Canada Pension when you turn 60? Since you are now retired and not contributing isn't it better to get it now?

Rainbow,it's ok,hubby is well covered...I get only $78 and it won't even cover all the animalfeed..so I'll wait.
But thank's anyway:cat:
I just put it in the post,because the amount is kind of funny,maybe by the time I collect it will be $3 more:laughing:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !!

Hope you have a great one!!

Rainbow is right, the longer you wait for your CPP the less you'll get:eek: so instead of $78, you may only get 50 or 60!!

Chico, I'm going to be 60 in March and when I phoned a couple of weeks ago to see what I'd get the girl told me that it would definitely be to my advantage to collect now. The $78 is alot better in your pocket than the governments.

Happy Anniversary, Chico!

You could always collect your $78/month and invest it for if you get old. :thumbs up By then you'll have $thousands if not $millions! :D

Well,we just looked through the papers(hubby saves everything:thumbs up) and I'll be getting $105,it seems to go down by about $1.00/year.
It is just a really big hazzle,even though we've been Canadian citizens for 15yrs,we have to provide papers about everything,even about Sweden and France..pain in the butt!!

Thank's CK out marriage have survived a lot,like most marriages and I do have a great guy,never a dull moment:crazy:
